This weekend the Protec Pool Party contest is is going to be webcast on Saturday. While it would be cool to watch and even more cool to be there, this weekend in the Seattle area is supposed to be super nice weather wise. So I think I’ll be out skating and catch the highlights later. I think the skaters at the combi in the contest would approve.
Lets do it! Go skate!
No skating and working on Sunday makes Dave an angry boy…
Get out and skate while you can!
Three years is a long time not being able to jump off of my right leg very well. In May this year it will be the third anniversary of my knee injury. A complete rupture of the patellar tendon is no joke. It took a year of rehab before I felt comfortable skating and another year to feel mostly normal. But I still couldn’t jump. Three weeks ago I started a short bicycle commute and I think it’s doing wonders. Some weight loss but also knee strength. I noticed last night that I jumped off my board differently and just tried to jump up off the ground and got actual height. So I tried the flatland ollie and to my surprise I could do it. So I taped it for a couple of tries. I am stoked beyond measure to be able to do this again and at 44 getting tricks back is a slow process.
Check it out and go skate!
